Psychology Of Love

This course was designed to give students an understanding of the psychological, physiological, and sociological factors related to the thing called LOVE. What are the different stages of love? Why do we love the individuals that we do? Who is more likely to stay or stray from love? Can one's mind overcome the powerful emotion of love? Why might individuals experience love in various ways? How do dopamine and oxytocin impact feelings? While acquainting students with attachment theories and research, we will examine why certain relationships turn out healthy and others become dysfunctional. By the end of this course, students should have a better understanding of the roller coaster of emotions that Love entails.
